Some old friends of mine from my life long ago lost their only child this week. She was 25, beautiful, engaged to be married in May....and now she is gone. Poof....she is gone and so many lives are changed forever...her Dad's, her Mom's, and her fiancee's; just to name a few.... I just cannot imagine what they are going through. It was supposed to be an operation to remove a mass in her neck at the base of her head. It was cancer, so they knew they had a fight ahead but they were ready for it! The operation went well, but as they were moving her to ICU...a blood clot and then a stroke, and then she was gone.... Twenty-five...young and beautiful...gone.
It breaks my heart. It's hard not to ask why? And as a Christian, I know there are things that we just will not ever understand...but I can't even fathom what my friends are going through as they prepare to say a last goodbye. How do you do that????? I hope, and I pray that I never have to find out! I remember her Mom as the SWEETEST person you could ever want to meet...just genuinely sweet....and her Dad, just a genuine GOOD guy, always smiling..I used to tease him about the twinkle in his eyes..I hope and pray that this does not forever take that smile and twinkle away...but I understand that it could.
We all have problems...but some things seem to put them in perspective... As of right now, I have no problems....I am blessed!!!!!!
and I will be praying for my friends..........
